SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

We tested the instructions using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Service Pack 2.

We use the term Host Machine to refer to machines where Virtual Machines will be running.
We use the term Management Machine to refer to the machine where Convirt will run to manage all the Host Machines.
In the simplest case of just one computer, the Management Machine is also the Host Machine.
